Advaita Bhakti, worshipping Oneness through the living Deities🔗

In Hinduism, there is no idol worship. Worship happens 'through' the idols. Everything, from education, architecture, lifestyle or celebrations, are based on temple traditions. By overflowing devotion (bhakti) onto the living deity in the personal form or 'Archavatar' of pure consciousness, the Oneness (advaita) with Divine is experienced.

Hindu temples were always maintained through donations from royal patrons and individuals, thus creating huge merits (punya) for the donors. The temples were given money, gold, silver, cows and land by the patrons. Such donations keep the vital source of Vedic tradition alive and enriching till date.
